Sean Tevis for Kansas
A liberal inhabitant of the 21st Century and the Internet is running for State Representative in Kansas against an incumbent, who is anti-choice, anti-gay marriage, pro-censorship and pro-'intelligent design in schools'. He has a fundraising website in the style of the XKCD comic, and is trying to get 3000 donors by July 28 (according to the site, no candidate for State Representative has ever had more than 644 donors) partly because setting a record will get him publicity.
He was told he needed $26000. And calculated that $500 from two people he knew plus an average $8.34 each would put him over the top
According to the website, he currently has just under 2900 donors.
I think Kansas would benefit from having someone to counterbalance the creationists.
I recommend clicking through to see the website, even if you don't donate.
I also recommend XKCD.
I heard about this on Pharyngula, a science/liberal/atheist blog.
